A small household has several Windows computers and a single printer connected on the same local network. There is no dedicated server, but the residents want every computer to share files and use the printer. Which Windows networking configuration will let them share these resources without deploying a server?
Configuring each PC to be in the same workgroup enables peer-to-peer resource sharing on a small local network with no domain controller. A domain requires a dedicated domain controller. DNS (Domain Name System) resolves host names to IP addresses but does not provide resource sharing by itself, and the subnet mask is only part of the IP addressing configuration, not a sharing mechanism.
